PENNSBORO – A Ritchie County man is in the North Central Regional Jail after he was charged with first-degree murder Saturday.

West Virginia State Police 1st Sgt. Mike Baylous said Steven Andrew Fisher, 22, of Pennsboro, was arrested after state police responded to calls about shots fired at 702 E. Penn Ave., Pennsboro, at about 9:24 p.m. Saturday.

Ogle was found inside the house and had been shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
